This question is asked on an almost daily basis:
Have we reached peak Trump Derangement Syndrome yet? https://t.co/DVkrHTFWma

Well, the answer is a firm “no”…
Attorney Walter Shaub, who was appointed by President Obama to a five-year term as director of the U.S. Office of Gov’t Ethics (who resigned because of Trump), is clearly expecting some sh*t to go down:
This weekend I’m stocking up on portable phone chargers, warm clothes, & gear needed for when we take the streets. I’m concerned the assault on the rule of law is coming over the holidays when we’re distracted. It‘ll be a defining moment for the Republic. https://t.co/Ewn5tdx8e6

Presumably the “assault on the rule of law” means President Trump potentially firing Robert Mueller.

Perhaps Shaub can share a bunker with Rep. Adam Schiff.

It keeps you runnin’!
Schaub later elaborated:
This tweet apparently triggered the tiki torch crowd. My theory is people with violent tendencies will hear violence in the language of peaceful protest. But you literally have to agree to the policy of nonviolence and complying with all law enforcement orders to sign up, so…

So, will there be a holiday Trump-ocalypse or won’t there?
Yes, everyone who thinks you’re ridiculous is clearly a member of the tiki torch crowd.
So what sort of ‘gear’ are you stocking up on? Poster board? Glitter glue? Starbucks gift cards? https://t.co/K5OQGt50qz
